WIP in WIP, post your level screenshots!

Ooh hlrally, once i was an ace on it, i could beat anyone! Now i'd prolly just suck. Nice work there, smooth enough at least. Maybe you should add a little more fog so you could afford to add more foliage, dunno if you can afford it without the extra fog tho

wip

bronts, that looks fucking superb.

although, the tracks in the second shot, at the grade crossing, look a little... off. you might want to add some wooden planking over the ties, something like this (yes, i know, bad shot):

ferret: very very monochromatic, but it looks good. i assume props are going to be added in later?

ferret is it possible to bake the shadows onto that cubicle prop? i would suggest you do if you can.

Very nice lighting ferret.

Ferret you can do better! (yea i know its wip)

Add ceiling windows, support pillars etc. might work!

@ Bronts

I always wondered, how do you make the curves (with texture) so even? Good job so far!

Displacements ?

Minotauro - The roads are 384 pixels wide, you can pretty much fit 3 buggies side by side on the road. WE have been making a source version for awhile, but over the past year the team has had a lot on, I traveled around europe for 6 months, fragmented did some traveling plus finishing his last year of uni, so just recently (the last couple of weeks) things are really picking up.

dissonance - I will add something there to make the road look right. At the moment when you go over it, it is like a bit of a jump

TeddyBear - As for the corners being so smooth, KoKo5oVaR is right they are displacements using the subdivide tool. It can be quite a tireless process sometimes having to raise and lower the corners, but I think it is worth it for the results. I plan on writing a tutorial on how to do it, plus a few tips that I have learnt.

That'd be pretty cool. please do.

I was iffy about the lighting. I'll still throw in props as I make them. Maybe some support beam structure in the middle of the room. I need some ideas on how to improve the architecture of the room. Also, those light beams against the wall have recessed lighting sources. I modeled a light fixture that go into the ceiling.

Somehow your map reminds me of SOF2, Ferret..

never played it =/

I have started work on a couple of tutorials on how to create the smooth corners. We have a Wiki type setup over on our site. So I just popped up a basic tutorial and an intermediate one.

The basic tutorial creates a flat 90 degree corner where the intermediate tutorial creates a 90 degrees corner but gives a bit of an angle.

I plan on also writing up an advanced tutorial to highlight all the other little things I have learnt, like making a cliff right on the side of the road etc

Anyway here is the link

any feeback would be much appreciated, I have really written any tutorials before

Pure blasphemy! You officially fail.

Awsome Bronts! Could help a lot of people!

Bet those took you a while.

And good God man, a 1.2Mb .jpg? Are you on crack?

Wow nice work with the vertexes. Too bad it's hl1/cs or something though, but of course, that makes it even better to have done all that without the displacement function for source!

Displacements kinda suck for walls, because they have a very awful control when you move the vertices.
